I like them in summer boards for drive or for the point and shoot barrels where you don't turn, but generally prefer thruster for good waves and single for covering ground.

It does depend a lot where the rear fins are place tho', a lot are much nearer the rail than the stringer

Totes. I’ve had both the flatter wider type boards with the fins out on the rail, and the rockered board with the mckee set up . I preferred the latter. But even still prefer the feel of a thruster.

And yes Steve, the ghost looks the tits. Might go fondle

Jon Pyzel was staying just down the road a bit from me at a mates place earlier this year. I met him once and exchanged a few words - nice guy

Hey Toots I'm in Coffs smashing Motackle. Any surf around?
Motackle. I thought to myself, wow, that's a hip hop happening fishing store name, Mo' tackle.

But no, it's actually not a hip hop happening name. :cry:
Motackle stands for 'Mail Order Tackle', which is very dull, but makes the pedant in me think there should be zero over-the-counter sales allowed.
This whole Motackle thing is a bit of a downer.

Well yes it’s a dull name but if you’re into fishing the store itself is mind boggling.
BTW they own Outdoor World next door and had some of these new fangled Pyzel thingys on sale the other day .

Bruce Brown has passed away. Endless Summer has stood the test of time. I watched it recently on Fox.

I used to have a few of his other early movies on video. They were selling cheap as the changeover to DVDs was happening. Barefoot Adventure had a bit of OZ footage including PHIL Edwards free boarding in the Tweed River.

I've got 3 or 4 of his early ones. Converted th VCRs to digital a while back before I threw out my VCR.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.
